This film should if been a three part Not impressed after waiting anxiously for this film I was ultimately disappointed.
I enjoyed the personal aspect of this film, I can see it was centered very heavily around hisi personal life and love letters. However the historical accuracy to the film was horrendous! Especially the battle scenes more importantly Waterloo! Very disappointed. Everything was rushed. Major moments in his life saw no more than 3 minutes of screen time. The battle scene of Toulon was extremely inaccurate. And other battles that took place In his career that were extremely significant saw no screen time or even a mention in the film
Trying to fit everything that Napoleon accomplished in his life into 2h30m is never going to work. The film was left lacking alot of key points and moments within history and his life. Nothing about the Spanish conquest, and the anarchy of crowning his brother. Very little about his marshalls that subsequently are a major part of his biography and career.....ultimately as a romantic biopic of Napoleon and Josephine not bad and enjoyable but overall, I would recommend watching epic history on YouTube if you want to know the real story.
